Those plugs look really good. I think you have it adjusted just right.

It is not that hard to machine a new one. Measure your old axle and then go to a truck junkyard and find one that is just a little too large. Take your old one with the blank and find a machine shop to cut you a new one. It will be a lot better than the 1930 one.

When there is a will there has to be a way. I have cast some parts in urethane rubber but none quite so complicated as this. Impressive!

I was just joking!

Glad to see you are back on the Metz at least for a little while. Good luck going forward.

Okay Dandy Dave, when will you have it going?

You should just live with it as it is or go all the way. Anything else would probably lead to a disaster.

Oil is pretty cheap although it would be nice to get it leak proof. Just think of it as British anti corrosion protection.

Consider doing it yourself. You just need to figure out the gauge of wire used and count the turns as you remove the old wire. Many years ago in the sixties I used to rewind small electric motors like you have to hop up small 12v. motors used in slot racing cars. Just replace the old wire.

They bear some resemblance to the headlights used on 1921- 1923 Super Sport model 47s.

Doing great! I only hope my 44 will run and sound that good.

The magnetic holders shown before. They also have magnetic bases that you can attach to the outside of your toolbox. Not all of us can be quite as fancy as Ed!

Leave them only a little loose. The screw that you see on the outside of the hub is a place that you can add grease. I would just take a look into the hole and see if it is bone dry. I have had some some tough ones but never one that would fight a hub puller for very long. Are you sure there is enough give in the brake system? It wouldn't hurt to adjust the brakes to be a little looser.

One thing you might try is to get on the Whjite Post Restoration site and look there. They used to have quite a few Delco shocks listed.

Try Jesser's Classic keys in Akron Ohio. 330-376-8181

The Northway model of this engine is 52 and 54. Other cars it was used on are Jackson 34, Keeton four, Paterson32 and Wescott 030 and 035.

I agree with 1906 Lozier. Northway made flat head and overhead valve versions of this 192 cubic inch versions of this engine. Used on Oakland and friction drive Cartercars. The flat belt only drives the fan blade.

I would go with stuck rings also.

There is a brand new museum called the Savoy in Cartersville GA. They change their exhibits all the time. They just had exhibits called fast brass and a collection of micro cars that were interesting. They were showing cars from many different places.

Sounds to me that they should be the ones to find one for you.

People don't use and you can't buy ignition wrenches anymore.

Olds also used them through the teens. There were identical wedges that said Buick instead of Baker also.

I just had a trip o South Africa. We were driven around in a stretched twelve passenger van that still had a standard shift three on a tree. I have never seen anything like that here in the states.

3k is kind of a lot to rev an engine this old.

Delco Distributor and Cap
in Technical
Posted
I have had distributors that looked like your cap. If you have access to a lathe, you can fix that cap by taking only a few thousandths off.
